FORMER Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has had his ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport but he will be allowed to train with his new Barcelona team-mates.

The £75m striker was caught sinking his teeth into the Italian during Uruguay's third group game of the World Cup in Brazil.

The offence went unnoticed by the referee at the time but was picked up by television cameras after the event.

Suarez was banned by FIFA for nine international matches and four months from all 'footballing activity' but that has now been softened slightly to allow the striker to train but the length of both bans remains intact.
